Inlet Position: | Pipework Through Wall | Pipework Through Floor | Pipework Along Wall |
---|---|---|---|
Bottom | Angled/Corner | Straight | Corner |
Sides | Angled/Corner | Angled/Corner | Straight |
Middle | Angled/H-Block | Straight/H-Block | Corner |
Angled radiator valves are typically used when the pipework comes from the floor or the wall directly behind the radiator. The angled design allows for a neat connection.
